Cream Puffs

‎150 ml water
60 g butter,unsalted
pinch of salt
85 g plain flour
2 eggs
whipping cream
2 tsp vanilla

In a pot bring water to a boil, add butter and melt. Season with a pinch of salt. Remove from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir briskly using a wooden spoon.

Mixture will come away from sides of pot and form a ball. First add only one egg to the pastry and stir. Add the second egg and stir until a sleek dough results.

Pre-heat the oven. Fill the dough in a pastry bag with a star shaped tube.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pipe cream puffs on the tray 2 inches apart. To make the cream puffs rise and become fluffy sprinkle a little water on the tray and shut the oven door immediately.

Do not open the door during baking. Bake 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes until golden. Put on a wire rack to cool and pierce each cream puff on the side with a knife so that the hot air can exhaust. Mix the cream with the vanilla and whisk until you have stiff peaks. Fill the cream in a separate pastry bag with a long thin tube.

After the cream puffs are cooled completely fill them using the hole you cut earlier with the knife. Cream puffs taste best when fresh from the oven.
